God damn! I could keep going, but this is getting mighty hectic, so I'll stop at 50. Please pay no mind to the completely random order. I gave up on trying to put them in order from the get-go. Also, please note that 2Pac, Biggie, Master P, and all other thugs/studio gangstas/basketball players have no place on this list precisely because they have no place in Hip-Hop. If you don't believe me, then you must be young and dumb. I grew up on Hip-Hop, and I remember when 2Pac was just a dancer for Digital Underground. That was before he got the "Juice," podna!
